"Renaissance Earwitnesses" examines masculinity on the early
modern stage through sensory culture. In his reading of plays by
Marlowe, Shakespeare, Cary, and Jonson, Keith M. Botelho argues
that earwitnessing, or judicious listening, is a vehicle early
modern dramatists used to rethink constructions of male
informational authority. Drawing on sound and gender studies and
providing close analysis of the circulation of rumor both on and
off the stage, Botelho reveals male anxieties to be self-generated,
emerging not from female gossip, but from male rumormongering. By
rethinking the gendered dimensions to the flow of information,
Botelho makes an important contribution to early modern
scholarship.
